Thanks for the offers guys - the be scrupulously fair about it - I think we should have the first 2 who offered to show cars : alanmoss and crogw11597

Display cars need to be onsite early on the Sunday (VERY early) - so if this is a problem for either, we'll work through the others in order of volunteering until we have the full complement.

I'll be onsite on the Saturday to do some setup - can anyone lend us a projector screen for the weekend again ?

I can be there. What is "early" and do you want some help on saturday?

Cars need to be onsite by 9:00 a.m. on the Sunday.

Help on the Saturday welcomed - not sure what we're doing though - anyone want to loan some display boards etc ?

Confirming my attendance Angus. Trying to get accomodation for Saturday then I can come and help.

What do we need. Shall I bring my screen again?

Bog atandard lodge.

Wynmondham looked nice if you can find one there.

Lived in Wymodham for 6 years, has some good pubs. Try The Feathers, The Cross Keys for and the Green Dragon (I think).

Best Western has a hotel on the main street and there is another hotel called The Abbey which is OK.

Travel Lodge at Thickthorn about 5 miles up the road is basic but handy too.

I can't make it down, but was in Wymondham yesterday visiting family

I can provide some poster boards as for Donington and bring along a few more this time if required. How many are needed? Velcro tags to attach posters?

Hi Angus

Will be available Saturday afternoon if you need any help also can bring Screen laptop and projector as backups if you need. Is there anything ells that may be useful or needed?

Chris : poster boards - yes please! Who has the material we used at Donington ? (some of mine seems to have got packed with it, I think)

Craig : screen, projector, laptop - always useful to have backups and if I burn a 2nd copy of the DVD we can go multi-screen !

Hi Angus. I can bring over some poster boards but I am expected at a family gathering Saturday evening (I will escape to get to Hethel on Sunday). Is there somewhere I can leave them for you or Alan to collect at Hethel on Saturday or can we meet somewhere to pass them to you? My mobile is 07966 221880. Cheers, Chris.

Lotus 40th at Hethel a great day the kids enjoyed it very much

(hope they do something similar next year) good to put some more faces to names. I will put some pictures up in the next few days.
Now looking forward to Stoneleigh and the parts fair 4th Nov.

Great event. Hope everyone enjoyed it.
Nice to see many familiar and new faces.
Stoneleigh next - Excel is the featured car!
